If their heart tells them that the "brainwashing" is true, what can you say to them then? The way you present it, each person has the ability to determine truth for themselves, but then you look down your nose at what some people find when they look within? Do you think they don't know their own hearts? Do you think their beliefs, opinions and experiences will not clash with what your "heart" "tells" you? Looking inwardly for truth is solipsism.
To quote the bard: There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy
Obviously, I disagree with you on a fundamental level :)
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 8512107 How do you know those negative emotions are coming from the heart? Demonic? Does that sound like an impression generated by the heart? Does the heart warn your consciousness of demonic ideas? Or does the ego? To me, personally, that sounds like a religious 'damnation' and nothing more. Who is any other mortal to decide what's 'demonic' for you? He likened it to 'scorcery'... Who else has first hand training with 'scorcery' to be qualified to identity it? I would say that in many cases a mind (ego) identified consciousness has difficulty discerning emotions between the heart and the ego (mind). Wouldn't you agree? How is an individual who feels frightful of such a thing identifying with his heart? Does intuition come from the mind or does it come from the HEART... ----------------------------- Sometimes in life, we don't always direct our emotions to the proper stimuli. That's just the way it often happens. There is NOTHING inherently demonic about marijuana - for anyone! If you don't like it and don't like the way it makes your mind & body feel, don't smoke it! Simple as that... You don't have to rationalize that you don't like it because it's 'demonic', just acknowledge that it's not for you. There are plenty of things I don't like doing either... Like punching myself in the groin. I just avoid doing that. I think that acknowledging some things as inherently evil can come from the heart. It's fine and well to say that all that is good comes from our own hearts, but when you have to acknowledge the evil in the world, it becomes hard to trust the heart, not to mention the difficulty (in my opinion impossibility) of separating our ego from our "heart." It's like the singer in the choir who tells the pastor "I think God (my heart...) wants me to have a solo this week." The pastor replies, "Well until He tells ME that, we'll stick to what we've got." Internal "heart" truth only leads to mass confusion and the justification of what we suspect is wrong, but want to do anyway (ie drugs, porn, jealousy, pride, etc...) The greatest villains of all time have thought they were doing good. Their belief in their own heart, their purity of purpose, is the very thing that allows them to commit heinous acts, or convince others to. I agree that marijuana is not demonic. I just disagree that you can look within to determine what is holy. It's OP's own inner struggle that leads him to betray his desires again and again as he goes back to smoke, despite not wanting to. His heart, his "momentary truth" tells him, "just one more time," even though he is trying to quit. The idea of "inner-truth" is betrayed by history and I just don't buy it. I'm not saying you give bad advice, just that you have a bad foundation for your advice. I have to respectfully disagree with you because we are at different stages of consciousness in our life, and therefore adopting different perspectives. Which is perfectly natural and acceptable. No negative emotions originate from the heart. You don't sense the fear in things with your heart... That is not a heart identified emotion. Fear is a product of the ego. The ego is your worst enemy - the source of all the pain and suffering in your life. Every emotion that's negative for you is a product of the ego - , fear, doubt, judgement, hate, anger, sadness, etc.... When you completely internalize the conceptualization of a spiritual existence, you no longer identify with negative emotions. How can you be scared when you are consciously aware that you are eternal? It's not just something you think about in the back up your mind, but an everyday consciousness. When you get to that stage you have extreme difficulty arousing negative emotions into your consciousness. It becomes very easy interpret everything in your life for exactly what it is. Because you have an amazing sense of clarity and awareness about everything in life... The right decisions in your life resonate with your heart. The wrong decisions resonate with your ego. The path becomes clear...Trying to describe the feeling doesn't do it justice. It's something you have to go through yourself. I believe you have a good heart, but I've heard the dogma you preach, the need to have "special knowledge" or raise to "another plain of existence" from too many con-men to take it seriously. If you can't truly describe it, or if I have to pay 99.99 for a seminar where I learn it, or if I have to join you in a cabin in the woods and take DMT under your influence, then I'm pretty sure it won't live up to the hype. I'm legitimately curious where you acquired your worldview and who your spiritual mentors were. People are people, as they say, and if any of them seem perfect it's just because you don't know them well enough. Being slow-to-anger doesn't mean that you don't hate. Sadness is not always a negative emotion. Fear is totally healthy in the right circumstances. I'm not interested in what seems to be a very passive, muted and shallow existence. I want the whole thing. Respect to your optimism and positivity though. Just a little too ephemeral and theoretical for me to apply to my life.
